HENRY WARD BEECHER ON LIFE
ASSURANCE.

In life assurance there are no risks OF eontin-

gulf OF bankruptcy. But money secured to your
family by life assurance will go to them without
fail or interruption, provided you have used due
discret ion in the selection of a sound and honor

SUPP, ort at your decease, can there be q doubt
WIN CHI is to be chosen?
HENRY WARD BEEGHER.
When the Equitable Life Assurance Society of
th United States, was a comparatively young
Company, and had not surpassed its chief COM
y,etitors which had been in existence for many
years before the Eauitable's organization, the
late Henry Ward Beecher took a policy with the
Society. After paying the premiums for many
years, he has now left the assurance to ibis wife
as a part of her inheritance.
Since those early days the Equitable Society
has outrun every competitor and to-day may be
justly regarded as the largest and strongest or
ganization of its kind in the world

WALTER NJ. O'DwYER, EDITOR.
NATURAL GAS.

Lorin Blodget, the eminent Phila-
delphia scientist, makes a suggestion
in Bradstreet's relative to New York,
which Montana should heed. He
says: New York should be traversed
by the driller, ever If a wild CATER
and the localities that are in any way
suspected of a tendency to produce
oil or gas should be thoroughly tried"
He says that in 1884 gas vas regard
ed as a temporary and vanishing
phenomenon" by some people in
Pittsburg whose vast industries are
now conducted entirely with natural
gas as fuel. He adds that natural
gas is ever more widely distributed
than oil and it has appeared with
such force in Kansas as to justify the
belief that it will be found over a
wide area west of the Mississippi"
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana are
likely to Guido all other states in man
ufacturers unless natural gas proves
to be more extensively distributed.
The supremacy OF New England is
especially endangered.
IL the gas supply holds out, we
may expect to see cotton, wooden and
silk factories spring up in the interior,
and compete successfully with those
at Lowell, Lawrence and Paterson.
Manufacturers in these places may
even remove to the gas districts in
order to have abundance of fuel at
trifing cost. Any advantage which
they now enjoy are likely to be offset
by the heavy cost of fuel. It is this
disparity which impels Mr.. Blodget
to advise New York to go into we'll
sinking as the only means left to re-
tain her rank as an industrial center.
Science has not provided any in
dications by which the existence Of
gas may be determined. Learned
me- even admit that they do not
know by what process in the chemis-
try of nature the gas is produced. It
is not always connected with coal or
oil deposits, and has been found
abundantly where neither exist. The
prospects of finding it in Montana
are at least as good as in the state of
New York, where Mr.. Blodget recon-
mends a vigilant search.

AMONG THE farms advertised at Mis-
soula are 1920 acres well improved,
chiefly meadow land, 90 miles south
Of Missoula, for $5,OoO," and $50
acres fenced bottom land, no irriga-
ton necessary, for $1,000" These Of
fers should be suggestive to real estate
dealers in Great Falls. If they would
make quick sales they must find out
property that is for sale, obtain an
option on it, and offer the land in a
business-like way. It is by such
methods that business has been ex-
tended in st. Paul and Minneapolis.
Great Falls will be the leading real
estate market for all northern Mon
tana.

The comparison between this terri
tory and other mineral regions is
striking:
This is nearly one-fourth Of all the divi-
dends paid in the United States in the same
period and twice greater than the amount
paid by mines in any other single state or
territory. Utah's dividends during the
same time were $535,00O, CALIFORNIA;
$311 ,241, and Colorado's but $2s2, 500.
Michigan's mines paid $500, 500 and Da-
kota's $375,000 during the same period.
This is a gratifying showing for Montana,
and proves that in paying dividends as
well as in mineral wealth she maintains
her ascendency over every other mining
state or territory.
Major Walker, who evinces in this
circular a broad, liberal spirit toward
the entire territory which merits APP
probation, concludes as follows:
1t is probable that the second half of
this year will be wen more prosperous in
mining operations than the first half, but
estimating the profits for the remaining
seven months upon the same ratio the
dividends paid on Montana mines for 1887
will amount to So. 400. This amount
will more than likely be increased by other
profitable mines which will begin to pay
dividends at the end of the fiscal year
Goth of June.) It is but just and proper
that the world should know Of Montana's
supremacy as a profitable mining country,
an unsurpassed grazing country, and a
country of illimitable possibilities growing
out of a matchless climate, valuable pro-
ducts and rich mines. The Helena Board
of Trade therefore is fortunate in being
the medium through which the prospec-
tive summer outlook of Montana is made
known.
When the progress Of the territory
in railroads, house building, public
works, and commercial enterprises is
added to the foregoing exhibit, the
result must be gratifying to every
citizen of Montana.

MILITARY POSTS.

Helena, with that desire to acquire
the entire earth, which she freely
eyinees at all times now, longs for a
military post. The Independent says
that, .Fort Shaw could then be less
extensively maintained at Helena,
and Fort Assinaboine's functions
could as well be operated from here.

ity and Fort Sherman is also more,

ident Cleveland has rescinded his
order and left the matter to congress.
It would be a generous act and fully
in accord with the friendly policy
initiated by Greeley, Sumner, Palmer
and others to return the state flags to
the southern regiments. As for the
purely Confederate flags no one has
any use for them.

PROGRESS IN MONTANA.

Montana is growing. This is ap-
parent to everyone. From Madison
to Choteau county; from the
Bitter Root mountains to Glendive
there comes the one pecan OF
progress. All the interests which
make up our staple industries are
prosperous and shows signs Of vigor-
Gus growth. The Helena Board OF
Trade bears witness to this progress
in an excellent circular, issued by Mr..
Davidson, the president, and Major
Robert G. Walker, the secretary of
that organization. Regarding the
growing crops and the grass the cir
cular says:
As tho summer solstice so near at hand
is considered in the northwest as the sea
son when the promise of 'seed time and
harvest is guaranteed in the growing
crops. so the. growth of grass whether
abundant or short tells the prospect for
the stockman's profit. In the first place,
the cheering news comes from all over
the territory that the crops of Montana are
made; and in the second place, that the
frequent spring rains and the snowfall of
| last winter have produced an exceptional
ly fine growth of grass upon all the ranges,
| thus assuring to the husbandman a pay
ing reward for his labor, and to the grow
ers OF cattle, horses and sheep great in
| crease of t1ocks and herds, with a cores
ponding assurance of an unsurpassed
quality of fat beef and mutton for the
butchers block.
Prominence is also justly accorded
in the circular to the mining industry,
which makes a splendid showing,
both as regards the large, productive
mines as well as those which have
been recently developed. On this
subject, Major Walker says:
With these assurances of a prosperous
year for crops and herds, the Helena
Board of Trade deems the present a most
propitious time to announce another in
dustry of Montana as having an ascen-
deney of profit that eclipses all other
states and territories in the United States.
1t is with great satisfaction that in this
connection reference Is made to the divi-
dends of Montana gold, silver and copper
mines which have been officially an
nounced for the first five months of 1887
(January to June) to be
